‘Tis said, the pipe and lute that charm our ears

Derive their melody from rolling spheres;

But Faith, o’erpassing speculation’s bound,

Can see what sweetens every jangled sound.

 

We, who are parts of Adam, heard with him

The song of angels and of seraphim.

Out memory, though dull and sad, retains

Some echo still of those unearthly strains.

 

Oh, music is the meat of all who love,

Music uplifts the soul to realms above.

The ashes glow, the latent fires increase:

We listen and are fed with joy and peace.

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.

 

- Rumi

 

Searched for God and found myself. I searched for myself and found only God.

 

- Rumi

 

The ego is a veil between humans and God. In prayer all are equal.

 

- Rumi

 

And after all this time the Sun has never said to the Earth ''You owe me.'' Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky.

 

- Rumi

 

You have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring you. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine or water to the ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.

 

- Rumi

Mooge   

Blue, I am becoming poetry junkie since coming back from Puntland. I met few poet uncles and their skills amazed me.

Mooge perhaps you discovered your inner passion on this trip. Do share some poems with us i’m looking forward to it.

 

Did you know that love and ego can’t co-exist.
